But despite my innate aptitude for illegibility, the four handwriting recognition programs we tested had little difficulty translating my jagged scratches into neat, clean, digital type.
At times, when I wrote too close to the left side of my notebook page, the handwriting didn't come through or appeared as haphazard lines that didn't make sense.
Even after going through the required 45 minutes of handwriting practice, I found the system made way too many errors in translating my lousy penmanship to be useful.
